If you have someone in the US take it out of it's box and then mail it you has a gift then you needn't have to pay any duties on it. |

it's coming from eBay so that's not really an option |

| You'll get charged 10% of the total price, unless things have changed in the last several years. Make sure the seller includes an invoice with a clearly marked total. This usually isn't a problem if you're buying from a company, but I don't about the sellers on eBay. |

| I bought a $2700 laptop late last year from the US and had to pay 216,000W for import duty. Seems to be a flux between 8-12% tax. |

| Weird, I have bought numerous things from international sites. I have never paid any duty on them...What happens? Do they keep it until you pay? |
